Firebase

“cuts your bill to a ~$5 VPS”

“The only available killswitch was some weird workaround with a Google Sheets monitoring the bill”

“most AI models get into the weeds of asking the user to sign up to netlify or firebase”

“Google should know better to not have such an incident like this as the Firebase SDK runs on millions of apps.”

“surely atleast 12 of those engineers tested their SDK thoroughly for a minimum of 14 continuous days”

“While Firebase has support for queries with realtime updates and offline caching, I wouldn't quite call it offline sync.”

“Especially for offline sync Firebase is still much stronger than other all-in-one solutions.”

“the identifiers which are identical and given to firebase, and various other orgs”

“I still reach for Firebase for my personal projects”

“both of which have a favorable reputation for quality in both design and implementation”

“Firebase integration is absurdly easy”

“Having client-accessible databases with optional rule-base security has always seemed a bit dumb.”

“instead of apps choosing to use Firebase for notifications”

“They have a generous free tier that includes hosting and you can add real user auth, again all for free.”

“sharding by user id or using something like Firebase”

“I created a system like mix of revenuecat and firebase”

“Firebase is genuinely nicer to work with than its alternatives”

“Google cloud is performing better(along with firebase)”

“A lot of cloud providers have very generous free tiers to hook you and then the moment things take off , it's a small fortune to keep the servers on.”

“they did not expect or imagine these keys would become valid for AI that didn't exist years down the line”

“So I can build a project I love, that does good, but somehow get in a situation where I'm accidentally paying 30.000€”

“I had a Firebase charge of $1k from someone who set up an automated script”

“A hard wall preventing going over budget by 100x in a couple hours is not some devilishly complicated decentralized system problem.”

“This is by far the worst security incident Google has ever had, and that's why they aren't publicly or loudly responding to it.”

“the Firebase backend that AI Studio would automatically use”

“using firebase without export and user access to their data was ok as long as it was an experiment”

“I would definitely go with something like firebase or auth0 vs rolling your own auth”

“for this kind of project it works really well”

“reactive backends similar to Firebase, Airtable and Zapier, which come so close to almost working for normal people”

“Firebase will give you the instant database and UI, but then you're forever tied to paying them rent.”

“I think they are good options for personal projects until it reaches a scale where costs really start to matter.”

“Both make it pretty dead simple to deploy.”

“which makes it relatively easy”

“the reason I might use firebase is Because Of the auth, not In Spite Of”

“Firebase was such a gold-mine for security researchers: everyone just forgot about security when they forgot about their backend.”

“For small companies things like vercel, supabase, firebase, ... wipe the floor with Amazon RDS.”

“They provide basic auth and stuff like this. So you can actually focus on writing your code.”

“doesn't actually solve state transfer between backend and frontend like, say, Firebase”

“I gave up on fire base for one project because I could not figure out how to get the right permissions set up”

“For simple apps, I prefer Firebase on GCP.”
